20 Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people, all the words of this life.

11 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.

21 And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.

12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch :

13 And of the rest durst no man join himself to them; but the people magnified them:

24 Now, when the high priest, and the captain of the temple, and the chief priests, heard these multi-things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow. 25 Then came one, and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.

26 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence (for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned:)

16 There came also a tude out of the cities round about, unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one. 17 Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation,

18 And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.

23 Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and the keepers standing without, before the doors; but, when we had opened, we found no man within.

29 Then Peter, and the other apostles, answered and said, We ought to obey God, rather

than men.

37 After this man rose up Judas of Galilee, in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him; he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed. 38 And now, I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel, or this work, be of men, it will come to nought:

30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew, and hanged on a tree :

33 When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.

34 Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;

40 And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.

41 And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.

42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.

35 And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do, as touching these men.
